So, when you ask the sponsor "are there any givens?" aren't you acccepting the command and control way? Could't that be rephrased as, for instance, "are there any ideas or conclusions that you consider undiscussable in this meeting?" (and then proceed in the same direction you explained).
Artur I think the art is how to make the "undiscussable" "discussable" Otherwise there is no use in doing an OST meeting. It is better to take people to an enjoyment park so that at least they enjoy themselves. And as long as we don't discuss, as we postpone to discuss the undiscussable, we postpone the potential for peace Funda * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
